If you’ve been in a car accident in Milwaukee, Madison, Appleton, Green Bay, or anywhere in Wisconsin, the moments afterward can shape your recovery — physically, emotionally, and financially. When no officer arrives to take an official accident report, you might feel like you’ve lost a key piece of your case. But you still have every right to protect yourself and pursue the compensation you deserve.
At Natasha Misra Law, we’ve built our practice on helping accident victims across Wisconsin through challenges just like this. We take the time to understand your situation, explain your options, and handle the details so you can focus on getting back on your feet. Here’s what to do next.
If law enforcement isn’t coming, you need to build the record yourself:
Take photos – Capture vehicle damage, license plates, injuries, debris, and the full accident scene from different angles.
Exchange information – Get names, phone numbers, driver’s license numbers, license plates, and insurance details from everyone involved.
Talk to witnesses – Politely ask for their contact information and a brief statement about what they saw.
Think of this as creating your own “mini report”; it can become vital evidence later.
Wisconsin law says you must file a Driver Report of Crash within 10 days if:
You file this report with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) — not the DMV. You can do it online or request a paper form. It’s the state’s official record of your crash, and it can make or break an insurance claim.
Report the accident to your insurer as soon as you can. Stick to the facts you documented. Don’t admit fault or guess at details — just provide the evidence you’ve gathered.
Not all injuries show up right away. A stiff neck today could be a serious soft tissue injury tomorrow. Seeing a doctor immediately protects your health and ties your injuries directly to the crash in the medical record.
When there’s no police report, insurance companies often push back harder. Having the right lawyer means you’re not fighting alone. At Natasha Misra Law, we:

Ridesharing has made getting around Milwaukee easier, but accidents involving services like Uber or Lyft can make an injury claim all the more complicated.
What should you do if you are injured during an Uber ride? Whether the accident was caused by another driver, your Uber driver, or a combination of factors, knowing the right steps to take can make all the difference in protecting your health, rights, and ability to seek compensation. At Natasha Misra Law, we handle rideshare accident cases across Wisconsin and are here to guide you through the process.
Your health is the most important priority after an accident. Injuries like whiplash or internal damage may not show symptoms right away. Visit a doctor as soon as possible to document your injuries, which will also be critical evidence if you decide to pursue a legal claim.
Call the police to report the accident and ensure an official report is filed. This document provides a clear record of what happened and can strengthen your case. Additionally, report the accident to Uber or Lyft through their app or customer service which also has its own insurance policies that may cover your injuries, and initiating the process starts with this step.
If you are physically able, collect as much information as possible at the accident scene. Take photos of the vehicles involved, the road conditions, and any visible injuries. Exchange contact information with the Uber driver, other drivers, and witnesses. These details will help build a stronger case.
Uber accidents often involve multiple insurance policies and complex liability issues. A skilled rideshare accident lawyer in Wisconsin can navigate these complexities and ensure you receive fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
One of the challenges in Uber accident cases is determining who is responsible for covering your damages. While rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft have insurance policies to protect passengers, they often try to limit their liability. In many cases, you may find yourself dealing with the driver’s personal insurance instead of Uber’s policy.
An Uber accident can leave you with injuries, bills, and unanswered questions. But you don’t have to face this difficult time alone. At Natasha Misra Law, we are committed to helping you through the legal process with confidence. From reporting the accident to negotiating with insurance companies, we are here to support you every step of the way. Reach out to Natasha Misra Law today, and let us help you get what you deserve.
